Chapter 1971 Surveying

Then they had it rough.

"These monsters are not as prey to their own instincts as other monsters," Rui's dark eyes sharpened. "In other words, tricks, and schemes that would work with other dim-witted animals are most likely going to be super ineffective against these creatures."

POW POW POW!

He erased the heads of several more harpies.

"Damn man!" Kane cursed at his words. "We can't just have it easy, huh? Why does this gotta be this hard."

"Relax." Rui's frosty voice possessed a spark of confidence. "This can work in our favor as well. I'll need to gather more data for that, though."

POW POW POW!

The two of them could have just breezed past these incredibly weak creatures, but Rui insisted on taking it slow.

"Given the environmental constraints, the fauna of this place is most likely not too diverse," Rui remarked. "In other words, the species at the outermost and weakest part of the dungeon are probably the same species that are in the core of the dungeon, protecting the source of the manifold. I can infer immense amount of data about the stronger creatures from these weakest members of the same species."

"Makes sense," Kane admitted, effortlessly slicing and dicing them into fine specks of flesh and blood.

SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT!

"That's not even the best part."

"Hm?" Kane turned towards Rui, before widening his eyes with surprise.

A fleeting smile emerged on Rui's face as a hint of excitement flashed in the depths of his dark eyes. "The best part is that collecting SOUL data on these species is a lot easier. Because these creatures are already in a trance, I don't need to run around using Soul Void over and over again for different sets of creatures."

The most optimal domain to be antithetical to them was a technique he already had, the Heavenly Convergence technique. This technique converged the vectors of the weight of the heaven and earth onto the target.

It was most optimal for killing it on the spot.

POW POW POW!

He annihilated more harpies before turning to Kane with stoic eyes. "...I'm done with the harpies. Let's circle around this layer of the dungeon and find other species."

"Nice."

The two of them immediately moved away from the region as they began their journey to gather the intelligence needed to formulate the perfect plan to escape the Mellow Manifold. Rui intended to employ this strategy to the best of his ability as far as they could easily go to gather data.

The more valuable data would be deeper into the open dungeon. The more data that Rui could gather on stronger creatures, the more he would be able to get a better understanding of the most powerful creatures that guarded the center of the open dungeon. The Senior-level and quasi-

Senior-level creatures would most likely tell Rui the most about the Master-level creatures.

However, the risk and danger would only grow higher and higher the more accurate and relevant data that he sought.

"We'll proceed slower and slower the deeper we get into the Mellow Dungeon," Rui remarked with a stoic voice devoid of emotion. "With time on our side, it is best we use it to offset the power imbalance, which is certainly not on our side."

"Yeah, makes sense, I'll leave all the planning to you as always."

Rui's stern eyes slowly turned towards Kane. "...You should try and participate. Thought is the key to the Master Realm, and unless you develop a habit and an affinity for it, you won't be able to discover your Martial Mind."

"Alright alright, cut me some slack."
